My 58-year-old brother has had swollen feet, legs (below the knees), and hands for the past 5 days. He is also having trouble catching his breath. He is on a mild antidepressant for the last 3 months. What could be causing this and what should be done?

I have pain in the bottom of my feet. It’s tingling and I have had muscle spasms in my feet the last couple of nights. I feel like if I try to stretch my foot, it just hurts and hot water or cold is just too sensitive for my feet. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I just got my lab results back. What does HSV 1, IGG 5.00 and Rubella, IGM TMP mean? Is there anything else important the Doctor should know?

I have a cold and cough that has lasted four weeks. I was scheduled for surgery but it was cancelled, and I was prescribed 7 days of antibiotics which made me feel better. However, the cold is back along with a terrible cough and body aches. My potassium is low and my white count is 3.2. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I just received blood test results showing a Ferritin level of 639. How serious is this, and how soon should I donate blood? I'm a 63-year-old male, and the rest of my blood test results were fine, including normal liver enzyme levels. I had a high Ferritin level two years ago and was advised to donate blood, which I did, and the level went down. I'm not sure what the level was at that time, but I'm wondering how dangerous the current level of 639 is.
